I need to get my ass on the hunts and roulettes. Need to gear up for Alexander....

Honestly, I don't think it's too soon for those that would have been highly interested in it to begin with (and those are t he people that would have been 60 ages ago, usually), and those moderately interested would be hitting it soon enough. There's no rush. The upside to those coming in a bit of time after Alexander's release is the use of guides.
First guys in have to deal with figuring things out and inevitably wiping while doing so. I'm sure tempers will flare during then just as much as they will while wiping after things were figured out.
